Schreier produced numerous works on behalf of the Archbishop of Salzburg, Bernhard von Rohr . Its library came to the University Library of Salzburg as part of the archbishop's court library . The works, which can be dated between 1481 and the end of his period of activity around 1490, were created in Vienna. Ulrich Schreier headed a workshop in the second half of the 15th century in which around 200 historical prints and manuscripts were decorated with book decorations or artistically designed covers.
